Economic impact of HIV/AIDS Changes in life expectancy in some hard-hit African countries between 1960 and 2012. HIV and AIDS affects economic growth by reducing the availability of human capital. Without proper prevention, nutrition, health care and medicine that is available in developing countries, large numbers of people are falling victim to AIDS. People living with HIV/AIDS will not only be unable to work, but will also require significant medical care.
